Congress is coming under increasing pressure to create a federal framework for data privacy laws as states forge ahead with their own plans.
Industry groups are expected to ramp up the pressure on Congress as well.
“The threat of a patchwork is real,” said Craig Albright, vice president of legislative strategy at the trade group BSA | The Software Alliance.
“The compliance problems with multiple states having their own privacy regimes is still an issue without a national standard compliance,” the group’s senior director of state advocacy Tom Foulkes added.
